RACISM IS BORN OUT OF STEREOTYPES AND STEREOTYPES ARE BORN OUT OF A LOT OF PEOPLE FROM A CERTAIN ETHNICAL GROUP DOING WRONG THINGS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. CHANGE FROM WITHIN AND RACISM WILL END. OBAMA WAS 2 TERM PRESIDENT OF THE USA, DON’T TELL ME RACISM WILL STOP ANYONE FROM ACHIEVING THEIR GOALS TODAY. RACISM IS NO MORE POWERFUL THAN ROASTING AND IN THE AGE OF ROASTING, COMPLAINING ABOUT SOMEONE SAYING MEAN THINGS TO YOU MAKES YOU THE WEAK LINK - CUSS BACK AND MOVE ON

I want to tell everyone what Idi Amin did in Uganda many years back, he chased many Indians out of Uganda and took all their belongings and property. They don't tolerate us in their country. He was brutal man. But in the end had to run.

he made 10 million but paid only 900,000 in fines. Sounds as if he got the better end of the deal.

Even if action was taken against the systemic racism against the blacks and natives not only would it still exist but there would still be significant racism towards immigrants and any other visible minority indeed that racism would be literally unchanged. The best we can hope for is to continually bring racism to light. The fight against racism never ends.

None of this will matter in the end.

We have alot of temporary foreign workers here in Canada, now that the jobs have all been takened up by Philipinos, has the Govt thought well Gee maybe we should stop bringing low educated people over and give the jobs to the people that live here? What you say people dont want to do low end jobs? well now that citizens are desperate to work they will do any job.

When that guy say: come on that looks like he wants to do wrestle move on that girl lol , like wwe former wrestler john cena , he could end up doing his finsher moved called: The AA ?????/ Atttaude adjustment lol to that poor girl that why he was stalki ready to do it ?

Why so late. Why this people so racist these people must cease to exist. We are all the same human being at the end of the day we both died.

If Canada was serious about ending systemic racism, they would have abolished the Indian Act a long time ago.

White male here, I cant stand hearing over weight white politicians say there is no systemic racism here. We need to rid poverty from our society to help end racism. Lets end the way we use banks and debt. Basic income and metal health for ALL people!

we need to end systemic corruption first

This video did a decent job of presenting some evidence regarding systemic racism in Canada. While we are better than the US in this aspect, we still have large room for improvement. However, I disagreed with the comments at the end regarding prime Minister Trudeau's knee. At the very least, that is a symbolic move showcasing his solidarity and empathy with oppressed individuals and his commitment for a better future. A mistake 20 years ago shouldn't devalue his 20 years of evolution and growth. Hopefully, the knee is accompanied by efforts aimed at police reforms and improved mental health support.

The little girl at the end just broke my heart ?

Never ending by the time everything I'd good will be 2050 may be

And i am quite happy with whats going on in england.???\nThe same communal differences based on religion, ideologies start to divide england by the end of this century just as how they implemented their DIVIDE AND RULE policy back in india and looted us for centuries.\nKarma strikes.\nI dont care islam increases worldwide or not. But i will be the happiest if england turns out to be the next syria or libya???

I can't watch to the end. Chose whatever you want but don't put it on me and don't expect Canadian culture to bow to your demands.

To me the biggest problem of people of African origin is not racism. Infact if you called a child who knows colours very well and ask that child to mention the skin colours of that panel there will be brown, pink and barge. Back to my point, people of African origin have failed to be honest with themselves thats the biggest problem. The biggest problem to solve is the family problem. African men and women majority have failed to raise up responsible children because half of the time they are absent from home. Don't tell me they are absent because they have to look for money to feed children. Let us tell our children to stay away from gangs, be at home latest by 6 pm, start recording high grades at school meaning they will be spending much time with books, wait to have sex until they are legally married, start opening businesses and build corporations like Indians and Chinese do. Then this racism issue will just disappear on its own. As long as people of African origin continue to possess the mentality that other races owe them a good life, the problem of racism won't end. I live in Africa and am an African but I see my brothers and sisters North America or Europe majority live very careless lives. Yesterday I was listening to BBC news a chief police officer of African Origin saying on average there were about 65,000 murders within the African Americans community annually. Where is racism in all this. Can't we be ashamed of ourselves. When last did you hear of such statistics in Asian communities in America or Europe. I agreed with Prime Minister about systematic racism but in my view thats not a priority for the African communities. Number 1 is raise responsible children and not weapon fleaks. Number 2 raise responsible children. Number 3 raise a responsible family then we can sincerely address this racism issue because if there are no trouble makers from our homes but only graduates, business owners, responsible youths who do not abuse substances then if we are treated unfairly it can be vividly seen that someone is discriminating against our race.

Mean while there watching the black person and its usually sometimes its the white person that's stealing the item. I've seen situation like that. I've even gone in to department stores looking to purchase something and being ignored by the sales rep they would rather help the white person than the black person in a situation where I wanted to purchase something the sales rep went to help the white lady who she spent half-an-hour with and that white woman did not purchase anything I was in a hurry ended up getting help from another sales rep ended up spending $300 the first sales rep who didn't help me looked over and saw that large purchase and thoughts to herself I should have helped that black girls. I mean in both cases you can't just judge a person by their colour a thief is a thief.

Just like to say im middle eastern / Heinz 57 mix as i work construction i spend all day everday outside. By the end of the summer i become very very dark and the opposite is true come later winter months when ive almost fully lost my tan. I definately notice a lot more untrusted/weary attitudes towards me when im in the darker state. However in the lighter state those things seem to vanish. Ill just add that the colour change im refering is not minor..

Some Americans think seeking asylum is somehow skipping the line or illegal, none of which are true. There is a line, a list. Those already on the list will maintain their position, the people requesting asylum may be able to live on Canadian land, temporarily, but they start at the end of the list. It's a waiting game regardless of which path you take.

Racism has to be end no matter its Canada or US these lands are belong to American Indians no white or black or any other colour and no one is better then other person we all the same human being

You go to a high end store to give yourself a treat. You are ignored so you leave. Nice eh?

Set white people like Hispanics always end up paying less rent than white or black so discrimination also against some whites come to new pact shuls in Duluth Georgia Duluth Georgia

I have had many job interviews where it was only by phone. i also had one that wouldn't extend the job offer until I sent a photo like driver license pic type. They claimed they want to see if i was a polished professional but I was interviewing for the same job as I already had and in the same industry. The whole thing made me uncomfortable. I ended up not accepting the job. I did sent the pic.

I am from the US and am ashamed at my country’s racism. My family has always taught me as a very very young child that my country was new and made up of people of every country...a melting pot. As my parents taught me I also taught my daughter. It wasn’t until she reached high school that racism was really addressed at my home. In her sophomore year she came home extremely distressed over a discussion at her lunch table. Mind you she had been with the same group of girls since kindergarten. The subject came up about a new girl in school, from another country... Africa. She was so distressed about the conversation before the end of day she spoke to a teacher about it...her math and track coach. I was incredibly proud of her! To this day I can’t thank my parents enough for instilling in me what I needed to live free. To this day my daughter 17 years later has the pleasure of that young girl from Africa as a part of her extended family. We know what we are taught and ignorance has no place in or society today. I also grew up in Chester, PA where Dr Martin Luther King Went to school or a time, my parents were so proud of that.

I ended up growing very thick skin to racism in Canada....what's more,I expect it ,and don't care for it.

There will never ever be an end to racism,there will always be the silent majority that detest the black people,\nand it is not just America it's worldwide and unfortunately it's a problem that's never going away.There are\nwhite people that literally have no time for coloureds and in reality couldn't care less what anybody thinks\neither,we live in sad times.

End of 90's living in Scarabough, Toronto. Chinese neighbour. I saw an open house. I spoke with the seller, I want to see inside. A Chinese lady said no. So, It is not different. I have a 11 years old daugther in Toronto. She looks Chinese child and lives in Chinatown Toronto. 10 days ago she said that she is not asian. Portuguese family name. I wonder about it.

The UK ?? open your eyes or you going ended like Indonesia.forsed to obey an Islamic law and treat to follow a madness religion. they going to take over your kingdom and your country.Do something now before is to late.

Strange isn't it that all these people discriminated against covering faces with burka's - then we all end up wearing masks because of a virus.

Europe by the end of this century will be a dominant Islamic nations

Yes... about music... all great classic musicians, were black!! Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Chopin, Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi, I can keep on going till the end of time!!! Not even one white classic composer.\nNot one white philosopher, not even one white mathematician, not even one white historian!!! Of course, we are equal!!! You can't deny reality!!! pffff you guys are hilarious !!

Immigration to Canada is like going to Trump's casinos hoping for a jackpot but ending up losing all of one's savings. Lol.\n\nBesides Canada is extremely cold, wet and nerve breaking. Ewww.\n\nI'd never want to migrate to cold hell when I've not committed a sin.

in our retail store anyone whos spent 20 minutes in the store will get followed regardless of race, 20 minutes is the upper end of what most people spend in a non-clothes based retail store while legit shopping, after 30 minutes we dedicate someone to the camera to see what they are stealing, typically they are either stealing something in what they think is out of the cameras view, or scouting and they come back later.

The woman at the end of the video is who claims to be Muslim is lying about Islam! Islam only has 5 pillars and jihad is not one of them.

Funny when this type of woman go on vacation to Caribbean islands and get drunk and end up having sex with black young mans from the resorts staff. There they forget they are racist.

It is the end of the age of discovery for First Nations. It equates up to 400 years. The truth must be told. No more third wheeling/ teepeeing off the British monarchy. This is gods judgement.

Most of these Ninja dressed folks are the extremist end of Muslims.\n\n\nThe average Muslim immigrant (Atleast from Indian Subcontinent) works hard, goes through all the loops of legal immigration and even works to put in effort to adjusting to Canadian Culture. From my (Personal Perspective) all legal immigrants should make 100% effort to learning the countries culture they immigrate to its the least we can give in return as immigrants and also work towards contributing towards Canada's economy instead of leeching it. There are certain crazy extremes but the average Muslim works towards his / her bread & butter to live another day.

Tipping doesn’t mean good customer service. It means they fake it, and in the end, everything becomes more expensive. North America needs to get their act together. Don’t start me on taxes!

I was discussing this topic with my friend yesterday, but it ended up with no clear answers. So happy to find this video.. what a coincidence!

Canada? We speak like Americans but look, we say ''EH'' at the end of our phrases. That makes us sound Canadian. If you think that adding a stupid word at the end of a phrase is creating an accent, its an insult for all the countries that have spend centuries to develop an actual accent that makes them sound different from the others. You guys are in denial.

I was going to go to both Canada and the USA at the end of the year sadly I can’t now :(

..If people would get acceptable wages, they wouldn’t depend on tips.. “Great service” and people kissing ass to make ends meet are two different things..

1:41 I used to live in the neighbourhood in the background. (West End, Vancouver)

Hopefully after this pandemic ends, Americans will question the need of employer based health insurance and their lack of social safety nets. What good is health insurance when you lose it when laid off.

I was the first one to watch the vid till end

This is play-pretend journalism. If they -actually- wanted to do real journalism and not some undeserved-guilt-provoking, race-baiting propaganda piece, they would have had to go the extra mile and cross-reference such behaviors with cold-hard statistics about crime convictions by ethnicity, showing that the discriminatory behavior is entirely based on racism and not on statistical risk. We're all virtue-signaling non-racists in front of the cameras but at the end of the day, when you're a clerk or a shop owner and you know those stolen items are going to come out of your paycheck one way or another, you have to face reality and analyze patterns in order to survive. Wherever those may lead you to. Sorry not sorry.

where do they go after, hotels ??? or free houses?? dam it I am struggling and can't make ends meet, taxed at 70%

Some dogs from the religion of Islam, one peace, tried to end it, but it will end but Islam will remain doomed and it is very good for Muslim women who are following the path of their Quran and Allah.

Nobody belives that closing the border will stop this virus , but it would have bought time, a day or two , to help prepare , but. just like the Feds inability to end the rail blockades , they squandered away any extra preparation time we may of had. That window of opportunity closed months ago.\nThis time , the Federal Goverment's lack of action will cost lives !
